External Hardrive Problems

[-Eyeless-]

Ok so I accidentally unplugged my external hardrive whilst it was copying files and now my computer won't recognise it... It keeps trying to reinstall drivers for the device and cannot find them/doesn't install properly, seriously any help would be great because otherwise I am going to get in sooooo much trouble

+REP and hugs for any really good help

Windows usually installs them automatically I know but did it come with a CD? And what model external is it?

It didn't come with a disk and it is a WD Passport... It was already installed but I plugged it back in and now it just says device not recognised and trys to install it again and fails

Sorry but that isn't helpful because he reformatted his and he also is talking about the diference between two computers, this is the same computer and it just isn't working with it, I also tried it on another computer that it worked fine with yesterday and now it is not working on that either... Thanks for trying though

Remove drivers, go on WD site and install em?

I read the whole of that post and it didn't have any solutions that worked for me

Scotteh how would I do that?

Is your HDD one which connects via USB or connects to your router ?

If it is USB connection then try a different USB port, it works for me when that happens.
